Hey Cindy!! We are scheduled for the same surgery date, and I am right down the road in Georgia. Believe me, I know where you are coming from with the nerves. My PCP recommended the surgery to me, got an appt quick and the approval 2 weeks later. I thought," Gosh this was easy, I will probably die in surgery now, or have major complications." I try to remind myself every day that this is a good thing. I am trying my best to keep positive thoughts, but sometimes my nerves get the best of me. If you get nervous before, e-mail me. We are on exactly the same time frame after all. Only difference, I am having Open RNY. I thin we will both be fine, and very happy with the results. Good luck with you surgery and recovery. Remember if you need to vent, stress, or any of the above, I am just and e-mail away. Good luck!! THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS!!!:):0:)
